I'm a total networking noob, but I'd like to set up a home network. My current PC (running Linux) is connected over ADSL using rp-pppoe. It has a printer as well, running on CUPS. My other PC, an old Packard Bell (bleh) P133 running (walking, rather) Win98. How would I set this up? The only home LAN setup I've ever seen is connecting the hub to the modem, and then connecting PCs to the hub. But my ADSL connection requires me to "log in" (rp-pppoe takes care of that). Also, will the two PCs "see" each other on a local network? Or will they have to communicate over the external network? If so, how will they be assigned different IPs?
